Was it any surprise?
Derek took on Blair in The Big Break final. Blair got off to an early birdie and a one shot lead on the first hole but quickly surrendered that lead. She fell to three shots behind with three holes to go and never threatened Derek.
Derek managed to not get in too much trouble off the tee (which had been his weakness in earlier shows) and Blair’s putter never got going. In the end, the difference appeared to be Derek’s iron play. He stuck it close time after time and Blair (who was often left with the shorter approach) couldn’t get inside of him.
The rest of the Big Breakers were on hand to cheer them on. They all seemed overly sedate. Robert didn’t say a thing throughout the show and seemed to still be stewing over his early departure. Nicole was none too happy either and good ol’ Brenda was the first to run up and hug Derek when he finished (at least that’s what The Golf Channel chose to show). The budding romance between Derek and Nicole must have got deep-sixed by Derek soon after it started. Gerina was pulling for Derek so she wouldn’t feel so bad about being eliminated before the final. No quotes were offered from Eugene. Brian only had one pithy comment.
Blair was awarded a nominal second place prize – a 5 night stay at the golf course. I doubt she’ll ever come back.
